> If all you had was a genome, could you really use it to engineer the cell required for it to go inside of? Definitively no if you consider multi-cellular organisms. And that's not just me being pedantic. Consider that every cell in your body, from the white blood cells to skin cells to neurons, has the same DNA. It's entirely non-genetic factors (epi-genetics like methylation of genes, but also hormones and existing intra-cellular structures) that leads to a neuron acting like a neuron instead of a liver cell.
